Welcome to the latest episode of Maven Capital Partners' Invested. Today's podcast is a little different. At some stage, ambitious smaller companies need more than just capital to reach the next level, and that's where private equity can play an important role.
Every private equity firm can provide funding, but what really sets a great investment partner apart is the expertise, strategic support and connections they bring to help businesses scale.
In this episode we explore both sides of the value creation story, speaking with Quentin Higham, CEO of Covestus, and Jonathan Oliver, Investment Director at Maven.
Quentin and Jonathan reflect on Covestus’ growth journey to date, exploring how the business is successfully executing a buy-and-build strategy to create a portfolio of complementary healthcare brands. The conversation examines the strategic decisions behind acquisitions, the process of integrating those businesses, and how shared manufacturing capabilities, routes to market and a clear long-term vision are helping to drive sustainable growth.
The discussion also touches on the relationship between Covestus and Maven, with Quentin and Jonathan sharing their perspectives on what a successful investor-management partnership looks like and reflecting on Maven's M&A expertise which Covestus has been able to leverage to its benefit.
